Top Margaret Mahy Playground Hotel Reviews

Novotel Christchurch Cathedral Square

8/10 Good

"Comfortable and brilliant location. Very limited public areas, however, really great breakfast."

The Muse Christchurch, Art Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I had a wonderful stay at The Muse hotel in Christchurch, NZ. We stayed for a week as he was there for work and I had booked the hotel for the convenient location and great reviews. Upon arrival we were greeted by Indula who was friendly, professional and helpful. Our luggage was stored until our room was ready for a slightly earlier check-in time and we were able to explore the Riverside Market and botanical gardens (a short walk away) upon arrival unencumbered by our bags/luggage. Once we were able to check-into our room we were pleasantly surprised by the spacious room, nice views, and comforts (such as kettle/coffee maker, mini fridge, desk, big shower) making a comfortable stay. The cafe downstairs has wonderful coffee for the morning and great breakfast options so you don't have to wander far if you don't feel like it in the morning. Then there are many great restaurants in the surrounding area. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would recommend this hotel. Special thanks again to Indula for the friendly welcome to NZ!"

Drifter Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"A cross between a hostel and hotel. Lots of young and happy travellers with a large hang out lounge/workspace/kitchen area for them. Bed was very comfortable. Excellent location so easy to walk everywhere and a block from the bus station. The bar makes excellent cocktails and the morning breakfast was excellent."

Christchurch City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is conveniently located within the city center and made it easy to walk to shops and many great restaurants. The hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed at the hotel for a few days at the start of our trip and again on our last few days of our trip. We did purchase the breakfast option and what exactly was included seemed to be staff-dependent. During our first stays, we were not told of any restrictions on the breakfast menu. However, on our second stay, we got conflicting information: some of the mornings, the server pointed out which menu items were excluded from our breakfast options, and on another morning, a different staff was serving us and did not express any menu restrictions. The hotel does not have its own parking garage, but does have an agreement with a public parking garage within a short walk from the hotel; you only get charged a fee per exit which is a great deal, especially if you’re not driving everyday. There are only two public parking slots in front of the hotel so you may have to park around the corner and pay when checking in/out."
